"Turn" is the fourth single from Scottish rock band Travis's second studio album, The Man Who (1999). The single peaked at number eight on the UK Singles Chart and reached number two in Scotland, number 28 in Ireland and number 37 in New Zealand.

Music video

Two music videos were shot for the single. The first video, included on the group's Singles DVD, features Fran Healy engaged in a push-up contest. This video was filmed in Hackney on the Nightingale Estate. The estate has since been demolished. British actress Julie Smith as well as British actor Stephen Graham were featured in the video. The second featured a staged performance by the band.

B-sides

The release of the single was accompanied by a cover of Britney Spears's hit single "...Baby One More Time". Spears herself heard the Travis version while shopping, and commented by saying it was 'a total shock' and was 'a very good cover'.
